with that smile on his lips, she would
live; if eternal sleep still locked his
senses and limbs, after her trial was
made, she knew that she, also,
would soon be lying, cold and
dead, in that tapestried chamber.
"Oh, my love, she murmured, my
king of life and my master of art,
shake of these iron manacles Of
death, and enfold me in those strong,
moyeless arms, which have lain by
YOUR sides so long. Put off sleep for
wakefulness, silence for speech, death
for love. Live and see and speak,
and be mine. am yours; yours to
save or to destroy. II few more
years of life can come to you, at the
price of my soul, will pay the debt
in gladness. For just one kiss, or
look or word, from you, would sell
every other hope which | cherish.
Oh, my prince, my king, my all, what
is il that must do to send the hot
current OF lite burning and coufsing
through your veins once more? Tell
me. and | swear obedience. Resist
me not, though your coming cost me
everything but you. care for naught
else; l will have naught else. There
is no heaven for me except your
white hands lift me up into it. At
each new throb of my heart, that
heart feels new yearning for you.

She wondered what this mans life

been pressed against the laughing

maddened her for a moment aud
throwing herself upon him she was
about kissing him, when the thought
OF his moveless helplessness re-.
strained her and she shrank back.
Day after day, and hour after hour,
she watched him, dreaming, musing
and yearning until all her heart was
his, and thoughts OF the dead artist
FLIED all Of her lie.

silence and solemnity of death in the
room: Her cheeks were wet with
tears, but her signs and sobs had
ceased aud her heart was beating
with a strange, even tenderness. 1t
was many weeks since she had been
so calm before.
A minute, two minutes, three
minutes passed, and still she gazed
silently and quietly down upon that
idolized face. Then there was a
soft, faint, rustling sound all through
the room as If the air was dense
with spirit wings, but she still stood
calm and motionless.
BE sure that in your heart there
is nothing but love, the note in the
book had said, and she was sure
sure that more love had never yet
been in any human heart.
The sound OF the wings increased
until the tumult was almost thun-
derous. The house trembled, the
candles flickered, the jewels on the
dead mans brow and breast flashed
and glittered as jewels had never
flashed and glittered before. When
the noise Of the wings was so deafen-
ing that il seemed TO the woman
that she should 20 mad IL suddenly
stopped and left a silence which was
even more maddening than the noise.
But the silence was brief. After
a moment the faint rustling Of wings
came again, the same as before, and
also the same rs before increased and
intensified into the thunderous tu-
multi. Silence again followed, and
then for the third time there came
the noise OF the wings. This last
time the progression OF intensity was
more rapid and vehement than be-
fore. and it ended in a crash which
made the whole house culver and
totter as II il we're about falling.
After this crash there was breath
less, soundless silence again until il
was broken by the striking OF church
clock. Mechanically aud half un-
consciously Scalcbi in his hiding
place counted the strokes, and he
shuddered because they we're twelve
in number. IL was midnight, and
scarcely a moment before, so II seem
ed 10 him, IL was set OF sun.
With the last stroke OF the clock
the woman beside the dead man gave
n little cry Of Joy, and then held her
breath in frenzied excitement. Her
eyes blaEed With a wild glow and her
hands we're pressed tightly against
her bosom.
The nerves and muscles in the face
OF the dead man were moving. The
smile on his lips was replaced by a
look Of pain. aud his eyelids quiyered
and twitched. Presently he opened
his eyes. Maiden modesty anC
womanly triumph burned on tn,
round checks OF the woman befOrl
him, and as he saw her he smiled.
Old Scalchi was nearly crased will
excitement. Never in his life haC
he doubted that woman's love wa
the strongest power in the universe
but never had he dreamed that !
could work suck a miracle az this
the calling back into life OF a maj
who has been dead for centuries.
The lips Of the man parted and h
spoke, but in language all unknown
TO the daughter Of Scalchi, and sh
answered him in a tongue which wa
equally strange TO him. They locke
into each others eyes and the
touched each others hands. an
though the words which they sal,
had no meaning for each other, th
voiceless wordless language Of Low

They came up from Egypt to Rome
with the embalmed and mummifed
remains Of an unknown and forgotten
people, and half OF merry, curious
Rome, incredulous until it saw,
rushed out to see these strange rel
les OF lost race whose history can
never be written.
One Of these bodies which the ar
ch9ologists brought with them, was
the body OF a man about thirty years.
So marvellous and thorough was the
mysterious art by which he was en-
balmed that he seemed asleep rather
than dead. None of his features
wore the hue or look Of death, and in
no way did they betoken the inesti-
mable ages which had passed-some
unrecorded and forgotten since death
came to him.
Despite his grave cerements, which
were Of an antiquity SO hopelessly
lost and so rem te that no one could
guess how or of what they were made,
there was so much OF life and fresh
ness about him that the people we're
filed with amazement and awe as
they looked at him. ..
His skin was fair and white, much
fairer and whittier than the faces Of
any Of the people Of Italy. Long,
black hair swept back from his
broad, white brow; his nose was
large but finely shaped, in full keep
ing with his tender, sensitive and ex
quisitely moulded mouth. Some:
times, away back in that dim, dead
past, which was present to him, that
mouth may have been firm, even
stern; but now it wore smile. II
made those who saw him shudder
when they thought Of dead face
smile softened for centuries.
He was found in an unmarked tomt
in forgotten corner oil Eeypt-that
fearful land OF mysteries and mar
wells; and old Scalchi, who knew NOR,
about antiquities than all the rest Of
Rome put together, said that THU
was the most wonderful and perfect
specimen Of embalming he had evel
beheld.
"This man was an artist, sale
Scalchi. The things which | founC
in and about his tomb prove him ;,
have been a man OF the rarest tast'
and genius. He was q carver anC
worker in metals. Some Of the won
ders which his cunning hands mus
have shaped are now as much a los
art as that impenetrable, incompre
hensible art by which he was EN-
balmed. Ii is thousands Of year
since his fingers piled their craft, ye
these same fingers are far less an evi

which have passed in the interva

age. II, by some impossible power

would shame us for calling our poo

The daughter Of Scalchi, always
scorner and n hater ofmen, was com
pletely undone over this mummitie'
corpse OF the supposed dead artist

How Little We Know of Each Other.
little we know of each other,

How little we know of each other,
We pass through the journey of life.
With its struggles, its fears and tempta
tons,
It's heart breaking cares and its strife
We see things alone on the surface,
For few of US glory in sin;
And an unruffied face is no index
Of fires that rage wildly within.
How little we know of each other,
The man who walks quietly by
With wealth and with honor and title,
And holds his head proudly on high,
Oft carries dread secrets within him
That render existence curse;
Dread secrets that scar his soul over,
Of crime, or misfortune, or worse.
How little we know of each other,
The woman of fashion who sneers
At her sister whom fate has abandoned
To poverty, misery, and tears,
May prove ere the sun rise tomorrow
More deeply immersed in disgrace,
And the sadness sneered at in another,
Be pictured upon her own face.
How little we know of each other,
Of our own hearts how little we know
We are all feeble under temptation,
Be our station in life high or low.
All then let sweet charity rule us,
And help one another to win
The crown that awaits those who strive
for
Avoidance of shame and of sin.

PROTECTING YOUNG TREES
FROM RABBITS.

Not the least of the enemies of
our young orchard trees is the rab
bit, and we fear he will be such as
long as our Usage Orange hedges
remain. The rabbit will not injure
the trees in the summer, when he
has an abundance of succulent food;
but in winter the tender bark is to
him dainty that he will partake of
if it is not made distastelul to him
or he is not frightened away. To
brighten him from the trees is not
easy. We have tried effeetually the
plan of tying white cloths around
the tree, and found to our sorrow
that the rabbit soon ceased to fear
them. Making the snow into a solid
mound about the tree will keep
away mice but not rabbits, though
it is often said it would. The ra6.
bits will mount the mound and nib.

the Importance of warming the food

but many farmers as we'll as noyices

all the food, whether mixed or

Whole corn, warm it thoroughly in
the oven, nearly parching it, and
then let it cool off sufficiently to
admit of the fowls eating it without
discomfort. The cooked food which
